CLAREMONT – Police officers arrested a nationally-wanted fugitive who burglarized her way across the country.

Cassandra Henry, 38, was arrested about 3:40 a.m. Thursday at the Howard Johnson’s hotel at 721 S. Indian Hill Blvd. She was wanted by U.S. Federal Marshals in California, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri for her alleged involvement in several burglaries, Claremont police Detective Rick Varney said.

“She has over 10 felony warrants in (several) states,” Varney said.

Her husband Corry Henry was also arrested at the hotel as a suspected accomplice.

The arrest came Thursday following a routine patrol. Motorcycle Officer Kevin Bock was driving in the hotel’s parking lot when he noticed a Tennessee license plate. Bock screened the plate and discovered that the vehicle belonged to a fugitive.

The couple is accused of running a distraction burglary crime spree. On several occasions, officials allege, a person would knock on a front door and gain entrance into a residence. While the homeowner was distracted, the other person would sneak into the house and steal valuable items.

Because Cassandra Henry had more face time with the victims, officials were aware of her alleged involvement.

Inside the Claremont hotel room, police officers also allegedly found credit cards with names on them.
